Lessons from Glide
For the safety and enjoyment of our new riders, Glide avoids lessons on weekend afternoons during boating season. Boats and wakes make for a very difficult (and often dangerous) first lesson. Please look for weekdays or to start very early (by 8AM) on the weekends.
1-Person Private Lesson
The best way to quickly be foiling like a pro is by booking a 1-Person Private Lesson with Glide. The individual attention you will receive will you get you through the learning curve much faster. The lesson includes approximately 15-minutes of land instruction followed by a minimum of 1-hour of board time with your private instructor beside you to give you all the tips and instruction that you need.
1-Person Private Lesson - $400
2-Person Lesson
If fun is what you are after (and performance is not your top priority) book with a friend. While this session will not allow for as much personalized instruction as a 1-Person Lesson, you will both have a blast with at least an hour of board-time each. There will be some time spent watching your partner as we cannot start you both out on the boards at the same time.
2-Person Lesson - $600
So, what are the optimal conditions for a first ride?
1. Little to no wind – we like to stay away from winds over 8mph.
2. Little to no boat traffic – sunny weekend afternoons are not an option. Try to plan for a morning start on weekends/holidays or shoot for a weekday.
Once you have the hang of foiling, the chop is no longer an issue as you will be flying over the water!
